A family favorite. Did you see Ernie? ( )

The zoo keeper tucks in the animals at the zoo. Gorilla snags the keys and lets everyone out and follows the zoo keeper home to bed. Mrs. Zoo Keeper brings them back to bed, but gorilla snuggles in with the humans at the end. Cute and a quiet book to go to sleep to. Curriculum: children picture book creation

I love the mouse with its banana, and little details like the toy giraffe in the giraffe's cage. My 2 year old is enjoying this book right now. ( )

A beautiful and charming night-time book that gives a younger child a chance to identify and talk about zoo animals while preparing for bed. My son particularly enjoyed identifying where each of the animals appeared on each page and making the noises of the animals. I liked that "Good night" was repeated often enough to make it clear that the book was a precursor to our own nighttime routine. ( )

This book is about bedtime at the zoo and all the animals are going to sleep. As the zookeeper goes to put all the animals to bed, one mischievous little animal is causing problems! I would use this book to demonstrate to students that illustrations can be used to protray parts of the storyline not described by the text. This is important in showing students the importance of illustrations and the difference they can make. ( )
